Two homeless men face charges after Portland Police say they were caught with a large amount of drugs Sunday morning.

Officers were called to 15 Temple Street, which is the address of The Works restaurant, at 9:14 am, where a business owner asked for two people to be removed for trespassing.

They say the suspects exchanged and dropped a baggie with suspected drugs. Officers then detained and searched the suspects and recovered approximately 41 grams of fentanyl and 13.6 grams of methamphetamine.
